The massive chamber fell silent as Arthur's team stared at the 4 cave-like entrances.
Each passage was wide enough for several people to walk through at once. Darkness swallowed everything beyond the entrances, and even the blue mana torches along the chamber walls could not reveal what waited deeper inside.
A faint, cold wind drifted out from the caves.
It carried the scent of damp stone, ancient blood, and something far more dangerous.
Jasmine studied the 4 entrances carefully.
Then she spoke.
"I am positive we are the first team to arrive here."
The others turned toward her.
"Each of these entrances should lead to one crystal," Jasmine continued. "There are 4 crystals in total, and we have found 4 paths."
Her eyes narrowed.
"So what should we do now?"
She looked at the others.
"Should we split up? Each of us can take one cave."
Jasmine's gaze moved toward Arthur.
